Two years ago, Dick Bear decided to fulfill one of his lifelong dreams and build a replica of the McLaren CanAm racecars. He proceeded to construct a semi-faithful replica (though it’s only powered by a Honda engine) to work on his metal skills and build something cool.
I really wish I had the time (and money and tools and space) to do something like this. However, reading about it is a pretty good alternative, I suppose. Of course the car I want is a little harder to build and ridiculously hard to get a hold of.
